I despise the pervasive myth of inspiration – the idea that an entire book can exist simply because of an accumulation of inspired ideas – but I don't deny that inspiration exists. There are things that have no other explanation. Was there a singular moment of inspiration for this book?
I , too, despise the inspiration myth. There's no correlation between feeling inspired and writing well. If anything, it's an inverse correlation. When you're feeling inspired you're far more likely to fall in love with the sound of your own voice. Some of my best work has come when I felt least inspired and, against all my wishes, I turned the computer on.
In terms of what got me going with this book, I had a first cousin who died of Hodgkin's disease when he was in his late twenties. I was only a toddler at the time, but his death hung over my extended family for years. At a family reunion nearly thirty years later, my aunt, updating everyone on what was happening in her life, began by saying, "I have two sons…" Well, she'd once had two sons, but her older son had been dead for thirty years at that point. It was clear to everyone in that room that the pain was still raw for her and that it would continue to be raw for her for the rest of her life.
By contrast, my cousin's widow eventually remarried and had a family. This got me thinking how when someone loses a spouse, as awful as that is, the surviving spouse eventually moves on; but when a parent loses a child they almost never move on. That was the seed from which The World Without You grew. Although there are many tensions in this novel (between siblings, between couples, between parents and children), the original tension was between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, caused by the gulf between their two losses, by the different ways they grieve.
What's your advice to a writer who's looking for a lifelong partner? Any particularly useful traits to suggest in said partner? (Do you want to tell us a brief love story here?)
A good quality in a life partner is someone who respects what you do but whose love for you isn't tied to what you do—who isn't, in other words, overly invested in your success. It's hard enough when there's already one person overly invested in your success!
Love story: My wife and I went to the same summer camp years ago, but I didn't really know her because I'm seven years older than she is and the last time we were both in summer camp I was nineteen and she was twelve. But I ran into her years later when she was a graduate student at Columbia and I was back in New York on tour for my first novel. I invited her to a reading, and she came. She's the farthest thing from a groupie, but that's how we met. It's the most important thing writing has ever done for me.
Tell us a tale from the publishing world – something, ANYthing about that process from your perspective.
You always see in the back of the Best American Short Stories some anecdote about a writer whose story was rejected by seventy-five journals, and then there it is, in the Best Americans. I once sent a short story to a well-known publication and received a form rejection, and I thought, No, this is the right story for this publication, so I sent the story back to a different editor at the same publication, and it was accepted a week later. Sometimes you send an editor a story and they're in a bad mood, they just had a fight with their girlfriend, they're tired, who knows what. I tell my graduate students to revise and revise and revise, to make the work the very best it can possibly be, and then, once they've done that, to go about the process of submission with discipline and dispassion. Never take rejection personally. That's easier said than done, but it's very important.
What kind of child were you, inside of what kind of childhood, and how did it shape you as a writer?
I grew up on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and the way my mother tells it, she couldn't walk down Broadway when I was a toddler without having to pick me up so I could look inside every window. That's what writers are: people who must look inside every window. If you're not curious about the people and things around you, you'll never be a writer, no matter how skilled you are with language. Writers are gossips. In another life, we'd all have talk shows.
What's your reading life like? Do you have any current favorites or sleepers that may have flown under our radar?
I'm always reading, usually multiple books at once. I've never understood writers who won't read when they're writing for fear of being influenced. I'm always writing, so if I didn't read when I was writing I would never read. And I don't understand the anxiety of influence. Writers should want to be influenced. That's how they become the writers they are. I used to plow through a book even if I didn't like it, but now, if I'm not engaged after fifty or sixty pages, I'll move on to something else; there's too much that's good out there for you to waste time on something that's bad. I think Tom McNeal isn't read as much as he should be. Last year I read his terrific second novel To Be Sung Underwater, and now I'm reading his first novel, Goodnight, Nebraska, which is also really good.
If you teach the craft of writing, why do you do it -- other than cash?
I love teaching. These days I direct the fiction MFA Program at Brooklyn College, so I'm teaching some of the best young writers out there. In a typical year we get 500 fiction applicants for fifteen spots in our incoming class. There are writers who wouldn't know how to teach; for them, writing is an intuitive process and they aren't fully conscious of what they're doing. For me, it was the opposite. I could read someone else's short story and figure out what wasn't working long before I could make things work in my own stories. I needed to learn how to become a more intuitive writer, and critiquing other people's stories helped me do that; it still helps me. Also, I'm a fairly social person, and writing is incredibly solitary, so teaching gives you the chance to be with other people and to talk about what you love.
What's your take on touring?
I'm about to embark on a sixteen-stop tour, so mostly what I feel is grateful to my publisher, particularly since book tours are all but extinct these days. If I'm in a city where I have friends it's nice to see them, but I look at touring as a job, and I think a writer is wise to use every second he has to help out his book. If you're lucky and your publicist has gotten you on local radio, that can be a huge help. But beyond that, I try to go to every bookstore within driving distance to sign stock. A writer shouldn't lose heart if her reading isn't well attended. Especially with independent bookstores, you're reading more to the booksellers than to the customers who come to the event. The booksellers are the ones who will hand-sell your book in the weeks and months to come. More than once I've read to very small audiences only to learn a month later that my book had been on the store's bestseller list for several weeks running.

The fit is as advertised, the look is fantastic (Blk & Red), the headrest and upper cover was a piece of cake and fit well. The lower cover, let me just say these two things, the instructions could be better, and you need someone real small with small hands and skinny arms to install the bottom cover, and the plastic "plate" on the newer seats is a pain to deal with. Otherwise I love it.

The application doubles single quotes (mystr.Replace("'", "''");). It also replaces "+" with a space, and '*', and '%' with an empty string, and it inserts single quotes around commas. I've managed to get around the "*" replacement by using a Unicode character (I don't remember which one offhand) that's not actually "*" but which MSSQL still treats as one. This allows me to do multi-line comments (/* ... */), which lets me break up my statement into several fields, commenting out the additional SQL the application adds. This is important because each of the several fields I'm injecting data into is limited to approximately 40 characters (the length of each specific field varies). I haven't been able to find a similar character to replace + or , though.
What I'm trying to do is append a script tag to a field in every row of the database, and to do that, I need the + operator, which is replaced by a space.
E.g. when I try to inject
update table1 set field1 = /* some SQL the application adds */ field1 + cast(0x01234567890ABCDEF, varchar)
it gets changed to
update table1 set field1 = /* some SQL the application adds */ field1 cast(0x01234567890ABCDEF, varchar)
between the browser and the database.
I've looked through all of the vaguely +-like characters I can find, and MSSQL doesn't treat any of them like an actual +. Because of the length limit on each segment, I can't just exec(cast(0x012345... as varchar(8000))) with a really long string.
The application is .NET 1.1, and the SQL server is SQL 2000 with the latest SP.

Blackhawks' big guns firing blanks
St. Louis Blues players keep a close eye on Marian Hossa during Game 3 in Chicago on Monday night. (David Banks/USA TODAY Sports)
Related Stories
The Chicago Blackhawks can breath easier having now made a series of their Stanley Cup playoff matchup versus the St. Louis Blues.
The question remains, though, whether the Blackhawks can actually win their best-of-seven set with their big guns firing blanks.
Through three games, in which the Blues hold a 2-1 lead heading into Wednesday's clash in the Windy City, Chicago's top five regular-season goal scorers have combined for two tallies.
Patrick Kane netted a beautiful breakaway goal in the series opener and Jonathan Toews potted the winner in Monday's 2-0 victory. But it was a gift from Blues netminder Ryan Miller, not a tally by a pure sniper.
That's it for the defending Stanley Cup champs. Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp – their dynamic duo of 30-goal getters in the regular season — and Andrew Shaw, who scored 20 times, haven't lit a lamp.
Unless things change for that quintet, it will be hard to beat even an injured Blues team.
"I think we went through that last year. Johnny's group, they weren't productive," Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville said Tuesday. "At the same time, the line they were playing against wasn't doing much offensively as well. They were playing the important minutes, big minutes, and you know top guys a lot of times they get that top assignment. They're playing against top defencemen, and I think sometimes the guys who have less fanfare rise to the occasion, especially in the playoffs.
"Whether you got to win a game 1-0, we had opportunities with three real goals (in both games) on the road that could have been enough. I think with St. Louis, offence is going to be hard to come by. Whether it's one guy here or one guy here, we expect everybody chipping in, playing the right way and hopefully they'll get production doing it."
Quenneville certainly has every reason to feel comfortable and confident with his group. Not only do they have the history of success, but he has a plethora of players to mix and match to help generate offence.
For example, last game he put Kane and Toews together on a line, with big Bryan Bickell on the other wing. Usually, Hossa has been with Toews and Sharp.
"I don't think he's fighting very fair frankly," Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock said, tongue firmly planted in cheek. "I don't like that."
Talk about a nice card to be able to play in a pinch.
"Sometimes it's really worked when we've been on different lines and we've had a lot of success." said Kane, who is working back to top gear from the knee injury that sidelined him for the final few weeks of the season. "In the playoffs last year, they put us together and we had some success at the end, too, so maybe that's the thought process there. I think when you're playing with a guy like Johnny it's almost like you're not really worried too much about who you're playing against or who you're out there against on the other team because he makes things a lot easier for you. We've had some success in the past, hopefully we can get going here a little bit more. I thought we played pretty good (Monday) night but we want to finish our chances and maybe create some more along the way here too. It was a good start."
A good start, yes, but just a start.
As banged up as the Blues are — there was no word whether captain David Backes will be in the lineup for Game 4 and several players are playing through issues — they're still a better team than the Blackhawks have faced in the opening rounds in past years.
That is a factor in the offensive struggles for the Hawks stars.
But consider this question: Which of these teams is better built to win low-scoring, 1-0 games night after night?
Miller has not been a shut-the-door goalie yet in this series, so it may make for a healthy debate, but the first instinct is the Blues are more likely to claim a few of those kind of wins.
The Blackhawks big scorers are best off not allowing their opponents that chance to prove it.

The Chicago Blackhawks are finally off the ground. The St. Louis Blues must make the most of their opportunity to keep them from taking flight.
Now that the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks have a win in their collective pocket, the Blues, who hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff series, are well aware the importance of Wednesday's Game 4.
A St. Louis win at the Madhouse on Madison means returning home in control of the series. A Hawks victory evens the series and gives Chicago all kinds of momentum.
"They're a team that really plays with a lot of confidence," said Blues defenceman Barret Jackman Tuesday. "Coming into this building, with 22,000 people going as nuts as they are, it definitely gets you fired up. They've got a little bit of life and we expect — especially the first five minutes — it to be pretty hectic. It's something we've got to be ready for and be able to push back in our own effort and hopefully have a pretty good start."
To a man, the Blues believe they were the better team in their 2-0 loss on Monday so they have just as much sense of calm as the Blackhawks.
"They felt like we got away with one in Game 2 and they got away with one in Game 3, so 2-1 for either team is probably where the series should be at," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "They said it best today when they felt like (goalie Corey) Crawford was the difference for them and a timely goal or two was the difference for us in Game 2.
"We still have home ice advantage, which we're going to obviously need, but we've got to take advantage of it by playing better and better in a few elements of our game."

Her speech was attended by more than 250 people from the B´nai B´rith, leadership of other Jewish organizations, the Israeli Ambassador Dori Goren and other diplomats, and media.
The presentation was based on "The role of civil society organizations promoting educational opportunities and social inclusion." She spoke in depth about the work that is done in the U.S. vis-a-vis NGOs to support those in need, above all in education and health, and also mentioned the social work the U.S. Embassy in Uruguay is supporting in this country.
Ambassador Reynoso underlined that NGOs should be opened to all those volunteers who want to work; that it is necessary that NGO work must have four pillars:
> government,
> volunteers,
> professional staff, and
> companies.
She also praised Keynes´ ideas in the economic field and agreed with the people that made a question about following Keynes´policies, that Jon Keynes need a public tribute for all the world has received from his work and ideas.
B´nai B´rith explained Mrs. Reynoso about the program "Getting Forward"(Salir Adelante)***. BB Uruguay will meet her shortly to present the program and both parties will study the possibility that the Embassy can join the sponsoring of "Getting Forward."

Diarrhea is characterized by frequent loose or liquid bowel movements. It can be caused by something as simple as a change in diet or a more serious illness or infection. Diarrhea may be sudden in onset and short in duration. It can also last for weeks to months or occur off and on. A single bout of diarrhea is generally not a cause for concern in cats-but if it persists for more than a day or two, it can lead to dehydration.
What Causes Diarrhea?
- Change in diet
- Dairy or other food intolerance
- Ingestion of spoiled food
- Allergic reaction
- Bacterial or viral infection
- Internal parasites, such as roundworms, coccidia and Giardia
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Kidney or liver disease
- Cancer or other tumors of the digestive tract
- Certain medications
- Hyperthyroidism
- Colitis
What Are the General Symptoms of Diarrhea?
Loose, frequent stools are the most common symptoms of diarrhea. Other signs include flatulence, the passage of blood in mucus or stool and straining to defecate. Lethargy, dehydration, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite, weight loss and an increased urgency to defecate may also accompany diarrhea.
If your cat's diarrhea is accompanied by bloody or black stools, he could be experiencing internal bleeding of the stomach or small intestine and should be examined by a vet immediately.
How Do I Treat Diarrhea?
It is often recommended that you avoid giving your pet any food for 12-24 hours while he's experiencing diarrhea, but do provide plenty of fresh, clean water to stave off dehydration. Check with your veterinarian about the proper course of treatment for your cat's specific case.
When Should I Take My Cat to the Vet?
Bring your cat to the vet if his diarrhea continues for more than a day, or if you observe lethargy, vomiting, fever, dark-colored or bloody stools , straining to defecate, decreased appetite or unexplained weight loss.
What Can I Expect at the Vet's Office?
Your veterinarian will examine your pet for underlying illnesses, and may take a stool sample to check for the presence of internal parasites, as well as conduct blood work to identify a possible cause of the diarrhea.
Other diagnostic tests might include radiographs, ultrasound, cultures, endoscopy and biopsy. The diagnostic tests performed and treatment recommended will depend on how the long the diarrhea has been present and the severity of your pet's condition.
Are Certain Cats Prone to Diarrhea?
Cats should not normally have diarrhea. Cats that have frequent hairballs may also experience periodic bouts of diarrhea, but this may indicate another problem, like inflammatory bowel disease, that needs to be investigated. Furthermore, cats who spend a lot of time outdoors may be at an increased risk for internal parasites or ingestion of inappropriate food, which could lead to diarrhea.
How Can I Prevent Diarrhea?
Try to avoid giving your cat dairy foods, no matter how much he likes them! Almost all cats enjoy the taste of milk or yogurt, but some adult cats do not have a sufficient amount of lactase, the enzyme necessary for the digestion of diary products. Undigested lactose moves to the large intestine, where it ferments-and can cause a cat to have gas or diarrhea.
Also, if you decide to switch your cat's food, it's a good idea to introduce it gradually, mixing it with the old brand to insure an easier transition for your pet's GI tract.

It's amazingly almost been a year to the day. Saturday, the 19th will be the "anniversary." Kate turned 40 months on Sunday. What a long strange trip it's been...
A quick recap: my wife (Kris) and I took our almost 2.5 year old daughter to get her tonsils and addenoids removed. She stood on the gurney and waved to us like a little princess.
Next day (morning actually), she was put on a respirator and later in the afternoon, she crashed, twice. Her heart rate was 5 or something. The second time the doctor came out and said he couldn't do anymore and the hospital chaplain showed up.
She spent the next 2 weeks on an oscillator (short quick bursts of air, about 300 per minute because her lungs couldn't handle a normal breathing rate), one week on a ventilator and finally came off of that. She was addicted to pain meds and had to be weaned off via methadone, my 2 year old addict!
Fortunately she made a full recovery. The only lasting scar was on her head; basically, her sat in her own spit for 2 weeks (oscillator, they couldn't move her head as they normally do). She now has a bald spot behind her left ear...she partly on her way to looking like her father! I know she would be OK when I saw this picture:
That gleam in her eye was back.
In August, she walked for the first time, in October, she walked into our bedroom for the first time.
She still doesn't talk, but I can't say I really care. It would be nice to hear her thoughts, but I don't need to, I'm sure I'll get enough of her in the near future.
In January she started school. They have a class for developmentally delayed children, I think it's called Early Learning Progam. She cried the first couple of weeks when Kris dropped her off, but it is less and less frequent now. She now takes the bus to and from school which leaves Kris a few hours to herself finally.
From all indications she is doing very well. She loves other kids (though she may pinch a little too much). We haven't received a negative report.
She's also great at impersonating an 18 month old. We still don't have to pay for her Disney tickets because she doesn't look 3 yet. That's a huge bonus. Which reminds me, she grown 4 inches in the past year (maybe 5?).
She continues to be the source of much joy. She has one of the best demeanors I've ever seen, especially considering all that she's been through. Her smile lights up the room.
Kris has finally agreed to consider [voluntary] surgery. Kate's hands still need a bit of work. After last year, we were perfectly happy with letting her make the decision when she turned 18. We wanted nothing to do with some sort of "voluntary" procedures.
This post feels very disjointed. I apologize for that.
I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone who has supported us.

Three things that show the scale of the ad fraud challenge
Ad fraud is a topic that cannot be ignored.
At Econsultancy conferences, any discussion of programmatic media comes with the obligatory debate about building transparency into an ecosystem where the advertiser so often lacks control.
I thought I'd write a short post simply stating the scale of the problem with three facts.
Facebook Atlas: what you need to know
Here's a brief introduction to Atlas by Facebook, the social network's new ad network of sorts.
Facebook was already selling ads in other apps via its Audience Network, which has been in beta since April 2014.
This Audience Network allows advertisers to promote their apps in other apps using banner, interstitial or native units and all the targeting data Facebook can stump up.
But now, with Atlas, Facebook is extending this to websites, too. All that Facebook data will be used to sell ads outside of the network and these will be seen by Facebook users. The idea is that this data will increase the effectiveness of ads by allowing greater tracking of users.
Future versions of Firefox to block third-party ad cookies
Online advertising continues to grow by leaps and bounds, but that doesn't mean that life is easy for players in the digital ad ecosystem. In fact, the thriving online ad economy is increasingly complicated.
Unfortunately, things are only going to get more complicated. Need evidence? Look no further than last week's announcement that one of the most popular browser makers, Mozilla, will begin blocking cookies from third-party ad networks by default in Firefox 22.
Is Facebook's AdSense finally on the way?
Some investors and analysts are increasingly bullish on Facebook's prospects for solving the social networking monetization riddle, something reflected in the recent increase in the company's share price.
Assuming that they're right, one thing remains to be seen: what Facebook's cash cow will be. One thing is not in question, however: there is no shortage of monetization ideas the company could conceivably pursue.
Publishers, ad networks blame agencies for their mobile, video monetization woes
It's well-established that despite digital's rise over the past decade, spend on online ads is still disproportionately lower than where it should be in theory.
While there's reason to believe that spend will catch up, the shift of budgets to digital isn't coming fast enough for many publishers and ad networks -- something that is becoming particularly noticeable when it comes to mobile and video.
Facebook launches mobile ad network trials
How Facebook will make the type of money it needs to make to satisfy Wall Street is yet to be determined, but one thing is certain: if Facebook is going to make the type of money it needs to make to satisfy Wall Street, mobile will have to be a big part of it.
Facebook's mobile usage has skyrocketed in the past year, and the common wisdom is that Facebook will have to find a way to monetize its users on mobile. But capitalizing on the mobile opportunity may not fully require Facebook to monetize them directly.
Half of online ads aren't 50% in-view for even a second: report
Advertisers have more and more types of online ad inventory than ever, and thanks to technologies like real-time bidding, increasingly sophisticated ways to buy them.
But for advertisers actually hoping their ads will reach consumers, there's bad news.
The real time world of display advertising
The real time revolution in online display advertising is here and it's disrupting the industry. Data-driven performance display ad solutions are pushing the envelope. No wonder that display is growing faster than any other marketing channel, including search.
What's making this possible is the growing use of massive data volume (also called big data) to optimise and personalise campaigns in real time.
Advertisers' data is now being intertwined with display ad management - they are finally coming together, after years of running untargeted campaigns that resulted in many wasted banners.
I promise to dive deep into big data in a future post (meanwhile, you can read about how best to use first party data in my previous post). Today, the spotlight is on real time.
AOL turns to Yahoo's ad exchange to move inventory
How to compete with Google in the display advertising space? Late last year, three unlikely allies, Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft, forged a pact that would allow each company to sell certain display ad inventory for the others.
At the time, Yahoo and Microsoft decided to use different ad exchanges, while AOL remained undecided.
Tapjoy opens up mobile ad buying marketplace
Thanks in large part to the popularity of the freemium business model amongst mobile app developers, mobile ad platform Tapjoy has built an advertising network that reaches some 70m active users each month.
Now it's hoping to really cash in on that audience by opening up its ad buying marketplace to all advertisers.
Publishers survey shows the growth of real-time bidding
44% of publishers now sell display inventory via real time bidding (RTB), a figure which rises to 49% for North American respondents. Overall, RTB accounts for 17% of global display revenue.
These are some of the findings from Econsultancy's second Online Publishers Survey Report, carried out in association with the Rubicon Project, and based on a survey of nearly 500 online publishers, sales houses and rep firms.More highlights from the survey coming up...
Brands buy 'influence', but do they really get it?
Forget 'audience', 'unique visitors' and 'page views.' Thanks to social media, more and more brands are looking to base media buys on new metrics like 'influence.'
Take, for instance, the brands that are turning to the Influencer Network put together by Condé Nast's Vogue.
AdWeek describes the Influencer Network as "a panel of some 1,000 women deemed to have sway over other women, based on how active they are on social networks like Facebook and Polyvore, a fashion site where people create collages of outfits and share them with other members."

Am I the only Audi? You guys will take care of me right, it's my first time to a dragstrip and the lights/launch is a bit intimidating. :-)Hopefully I'll get lined up against someone slow... ;-)
I'm actually still on my winter tires, but wheel-spin has never been a problem for me. I'm actually only Stage III, I haven't done the fueling yet so I'm still sub 400hp. It's pretty quick though compared to a stocker.I might switch to summer rubber this weekend. I'm really excited to go! It sounds like a good driver could get 13's easy in my car, and 12's possibly. I would be beside myself to get into the 13's. I guess an RS6 can do 14.1 so that's my target! Maybe someone who knows how to launch an S4 will be there and give me some tips or even take a run. At 210lbs I'm not the lightest either. ;-)
Well and of course hang out with fellow enthusiasts.
I have never done this before so I'm not sure where to go when i get there and all that.
hey all i was there today with my audi and i will be there wed.You cant laugh cause im slow. i ran a 17.064 i need more go fast goodies!
Wish I could be there guys, but my VP here has called a meeting this afternoon that will last until around 6:00. So, no chance of me making it over there this evening. maybe some other week this summer.good luck!
- Ignition cut-off on all bikes / snowmobiles that exceed 135 mph
who is running their snowmobile at 135mph at bandimere?
Sub 11.5 (I think), requires full protection, cage, harness, etc.

What's better than adopting one cat? Adopting two! They will keep each other company, and two felines means double the love and affection for you.read more
Although cats might not be formally diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD, the mood disorder that causes some people to experience symptoms of depression in the winter, veterinarians and feline fanciers say they do notice similar changes in some cats.
One in three cat owners finds that their pets seem more sad and less playful in the winter, according to a 2007 survey by People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), England's largest veterinary charity. Dr. Elaine Pendlebury, a senior veterinary surgeon with PDSA, believes that low levels of light can adversely affect all animals, including nonhuman ones.
How Winter Can Affect Your Kitty's Behavior
Like their human counterparts, kitties can show changes in energy levels, appetite, sleep patterns and temperament when exposure to light decreases. Dr. Elizabeth Colleran, DVM, sees it every winter. Dr. Colleran maintains feline-only practices in both Chico, Calif., and Portland, Ore. The weather might be a bit gray in Portland, but it's fairly consistent year-round, says Dr. Colleran. Her feline clientele in Portland doesn't demonstrate noticeable seasonal changes. But Dr. Colleran has noted quite a seasonal shift in the kitties she sees in Chico, which is hot and sunny in the summer but far gloomier during the winter.
"I really do see a difference, I'm absolutely convinced of it," says Dr. Colleran. In the wild, other cat behaviors, such as mating, are related to exposure to light. It's therefore logical to assume that the onset of winter might have some effect on your kitty as well, Dr. Colleran explains.
Dr. Debra Givin, DVM, isn't sure there are physiological reasons for cats to suffer from a seasonal depression. Nonetheless, she notes changes in some felines she sees in her Portland, Maine, practice. "Certainly in the Northern latitudes, I've on occasion thought for the older cats," says Dr. Givin. "As they face another winter, some of them seem to take a turn for the worse. In the wintertime, life is harder. It's cold and dark."
Helping Kitty Cope
Fortunately, you can do plenty to perk up your moping feline. Simple changes in your behavior and activities in the winter might also play a role in how your cat is behaving, says Dr. Givin. If you and your veterinarian have ruled out medical causes for your kitty's malaise, here are several areas to consider when it comes to your cat's wintertime behavior:
Knowing your cat well -- winter and summer -- is the best way to judge behavioral changes. As Dr. Colleran concludes, "You have to really be aware of what's going on with your cat."
Kim Boatman is a journalist and frequent contributor to The Daily Cat, based in Northern California whose work has appeared in The Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press and the San Jose Mercury News. She is a lifelong lover of animals and shares her home with three cats.
Izky says: Well, What?! He TRIED to bring her rodents but she wduoln't eat or play with them. He was prolly a bit confused when she let them go or threw them away. And he's gotta stalk SOMETHING. So, he he brought her some stuff. People seem to leave it around and she seems to get a kick out of them. Win/win as far the cat is concerned.
Cheese says: i love the article
Cheese says: before your cat sees the other cat, hold the small kitty and bring the other cat over. if the small cat bites, scratches, or trys to wiggle away, give the cat a small tap on the top of their head which tells the cat," No!"
sarah says: my cat will love that i know how to take care of it now.
Jen says: We've recently adopted a 14-year old Persian, and our 2-year old Persian is still hissing and won't come around him. We started out by keeping him in a separate room, while they became "acquainted" through the door. Our 2 year old is afraid, and shakes at the other cat's presence, runs and hides. what can we do to reduce the stress?
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. Winner is Tammy N…congrats!
Finding a cool gift for older kids can be tough. Until now…
Our boys have had a number of regular scooters over the past few years. Even Tyler (2) gets into the scooter, even though he can't really propel it correctly. It has wheels, he can push it while walking next to it, and he can tilt it down and push it like a mower. He's happy with that!
They are going to be thrilled with the Rockboard Scooter since it's a hybrid scooter. This means that they can kick to move forward just like on a normal scooter. Or, they can propel just like they are riding a bike with the Rockboard Propulsion Technology.™ The faster they rock up and down while going for a spin, the faster it will go!
There are two options available. You can pick up the Original model, available in a variety of colors, which is made for the bigger kids and adults weighing over 90 pounds. Or, the Mini model is made for younger kids weighing up to 90 pounds. Our younger boys could share the Mini model and the older boys (meaning T and Daddy) can share the Original model, which is what we received. Even I could take a spin on it (or not since that would likely embarrass them…).
My boys are smitten over this scooter…we received a "mini," and they can't get enough. Once they got the rocking motion down, they were off. They don't care that it was 30 degrees outside yesterday…they wanted to ride!
We are giving away (1) Rockboard Original Scooter in white, valued at $199!

Black and orange, yea!
There are several teams I could never cheer for — Russia, Oklahoma State, the Dallas Cowboys, Spiro and Sallisaw. However, wait for a minute. For the next two weeks, I am going on a crash course on the lyrics for the Black Diamonds' fight song.For these next two weeks, I am going to be a Black Diamond fan. The only way for the Pirates to finish with the top seed in District 4A-4 is a three-way tie for the top spot in the district with Poteau, Tulsa Cascia Hall and Sallisaw. Here is what I understand. Since Poteau and Cascia Hall will be playing the two bottom teams in the league, the key to the finishing order will switch to the Sallisaw-Fort Gibson game on Nov. 8. If the Tigers beat the Black Diamonds, Cascia Hall would be first, Poteau would be second, Fort Gibson would be third and Sallisaw would finish fourth — assuming that Poteau and Cascia Hall end the season with wins over Broken Bow and Tulsa Rogers.

Never mind all the hullabaloo around this year's election–Sheryl Crow is looking to the next round and beyond.
At least, that is, if the new song and video she just released this week is any indication.
With "Woman In The White House," Ms. Crow states her case plain and simple that it's about time the male monopoly on the top job was brought to an end.
"We've seen what the good ol' boys can do," she sings against a plucky, peppy, country-based arrangement. "Now it's our turn to take a shot."
For starters, Crow sings, "there'd be a lot less fussing and fighting and carrying on" and a good deal more "loving and listening and getting along."
Slate's Alyssa Rosenberg, however, took issue with some of the reasoning in Crow's song, including the above line and others about knowing how to balance a checkbook–and being able to clean up messes "with a shovel and a pair of high heels."
"It's a call for a mom-in-chief," Rosenberg writes, "with the promise that she won't stop dressing sexy once she gets her hands on more power than is currently available to her at school-board meetings."
Rosenberg may have a point. Though in reality, perhaps Crow's song–in addition to being good-natured and well-intentioned–is also a nod to another country classic about a modern-dressing mom who's shaking up the establishment: "Harper Valley P.T.A."
"Woman In The White House" is available now on iTunes, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the American Red Cross.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle of the oven. Lightly coat 2 (9-inch) cake pans with nonstick vegetable spray. Line the bottoms with a circle of baking parchment.
Into a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, 3 times. In a small saucepan, bring the milk and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and lemon extracts. In separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale yellow, and fluffy, and doubled in volume. While still beating, drizzle in the hot milk mixture. Fold in the flour mixture. Spread the batter in the prepared pans and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden, the center springs back when lightly pressed, and a cake tester comes out clean. Set the pans on a rack to cool. Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the cakes to loosen them, and turn them out of the pans.
Whipped Cream Frosting: In a medium bowl, mix together the gelatin and 1/4 cup of the cream. Let rest for 5 minutes to soften, then place the bowl over barely simmering water until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool to tepid. In the meantime, in a mixing bowl, whip the cream until slightly thickened. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and whip to the consistency of shaving cream. Fold 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into the gelatin mixture, then fold in the rest.
Wash and dry the strawberries. Pick out the 12 best. Stem and slice the rest. Lay the sliced berries over 1 cake, then spread a 1/2-inch layer of whipped cream on top. Place the second cake over the first. Frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream. Top with the 12 whole berries.

World chip sales break record but miss industry forecast
Growth driven by consumer electronics biz
World chip sales totalled $247.7bn last year, the US-centric Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said late Friday. Alas that's below the SIA's own full-year sales forecast of $248.8bn, a prediction made only last November.
Still, the actual figure represents an 8.9 per cent increase on 2005's total, $227.5bn. The issue appears to have been December's sales, which were down 4.4 per cent on November's $22.7bn to $21.7bn. And even $247.7bn is a record.
Worldwide sales in Q4 2006 were $65.2bn, an increase of nine per cent over Q4 2005 sales of $59.9bn and an increase of 1.9 per cent over Q3 2006 sales of $64bn.
The SIA attributed the growth at the door of the consumer electronics industry, which is buying semiconductors like never before to build HD TV sets and set-top boxes, digital media players, and mobile phones.
The SIA expects 2007 to yield full-year sales of $273.8bn, up 10.5 per cent on 2006's total.

Zimmerman on #Orlando: "My gay brother" could have been a victim
Wake up America!

NEW YORK (AP) -- The party has already started by the time you enter the Broadway theater to see the musical "Once."
The Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre's stage is filled with musicians jamming to Irish tunes in what looks like a Dublin pub. Real drinks are offered to the brave theatergoers willing to go up and mingle.
Eventually, come show time, everything sort of melts away -- those musicians are the cast -- and there's just a guy up there strumming a guitar.
Pure, moving and inventive -- these are the foundations of the irresistible production that opened Sunday, and it is a study in how to beautifully adapt a movie to the stage. In many ways, in fact, this "Once" is better than the original "Once."
The musical follows the film's simple love story between a Czech flower seller and an Irish street musician and vacuum cleaner repairman in Dublin. He's pining for a lost love, she's a lonely single mother -- can these two find love in their shared passion for music? Made for about $150,000, the film earned $20 million, thanks in part to an original score that included the sublime, 2007 Oscar-winning song, "Falling Slowly."
Anyone approaching the material with an eye for the stage faces serious hurdles: The film had a documentary feel even though it was fiction. It was only 85 minutes. And the chemistry between the lovers on screen -- Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard -- wouldn't be easy to recreate: Not only were they the songwriters, they also were one-time lovers.
Enter director John Tiffany, playwright Enda Walsh, choreographer Steven Hoggett and a talented cast of 12 led by Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti. All are faithful to the star-crossed story without following the celluloid version shot-for-shot, and they even add depth to peripheral figures in the film. The musical was an off-Broadway hit and doesn't suffer a bit from moving to a 1,000-seat Broadway theater.
Most of the songs from the film are here -- but not all. New tunes from Hansard and Irglova and reprises of old ones have been gracefully added to the mix by music supervisor and orchestrator Martin Lowe. Kazee plays guitar and Milioti her piano, while the other 10 performers play a variety of roles and instruments -- banjo, mandolin, violin, ukulele and accordion, among them -- sometimes dancing while performing.
Kazee adopts a convincing Irish accent and he has a great voice, especially when he strains with emotion. He's pretty good looking, too, in just jeans, an undershirt and a vest. Milioti winningly plays the heroine like a sort of Manic Pixie Dream Girl from the Czech Republic -- "You must always say hello to the piano," she tells the guy knowingly -- but pulls it off, even though her thick accent impedes her soaring voice.
Walsh has put in ingenious touches, like taking a bank officer who loans the couple the cash to record a demo tape and putting him in the backup band, together with the girl's rowdy Czech friends and flatmates.
The owner of an instrument shop -- barely there in the film -- is given comedic life for an excellent Paul Whitty. One running joke is that both the Czech immigrants and Dublin natives are addicted to a local soap opera, a nice counterpoint to the would-be love story unspooling fitfully on stage.
One dangerous moment comes in a scene that never was in the film -- the two finally speak the unspoken.
"Isn't this unfinished?" he tells her.
"But we haven't started anything," she replies.
"No? Well it feels like we've started," he says.
Part of the charm of the film was that this would-be couple never really discussed their relationship, just like life. So it's somewhat dangerous and a little cringe-inducing to have it telegraphed from the stage, as when the guy says: "I wrote these songs at another time for another girl but when I sing it's for us, I think. It's you I see in the songs."
But, ultimately, this is a confident, well-constructed piece. There are few special effects -- Bob Crowley's set is just an interior of a pub decorated with mirrors -- and little beside 12 talented people playing away for more than two hours. You need nothing else.
It's sappy and melodramatic, yes, but seems to avoid getting stuck there, mainly thanks to its humor -- charming Irish turns of phrases and funny characters -- and those deeply moving songs.
And it's nice to have a musical about lost love. You can go see happy endings at "Mamma Mia!" and "Anything Goes," but more people might relate to the poignant, weepy "Once," which is basically an ode to heartbreak. It makes a lasting connection even if its two leads cannot.

Roasted Butterflied Chicken with Cardamom and Yogurt
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: There is no shortage of spices in this recipe, yet the end result amplifies cardamom. Combined with garlic, ginger and yogurt this blend forms a thick marinade which coats, perfumes and tenderizes the chicken. I like to smear it over a whole butterflied chicken, but it's just as good with breasts or legs. Butterflying ensures quick cooking and even browning. If you can, let the chicken marinate overnight - the longer it sits the better. - TasteFood —TasteFood
Food52 Review: TasteFood turns the everyday roast chicken on its head, simply by bathing it in an intoxicatingly spiced yogurt marinade, butterflying it, and flattening it into a cast iron skillet to roast. Its incomparably crispy skin is brightened by a fragrant rub -- a testament to the benefits of grinding whole spices: you'll get so much more flavor and aroma. If you only have 3 hours to marinate, that'll do, but in our experience, overnight is well worth the wait. Note that, depending on your oven, you might need to cover the chicken with foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking if it's getting too brown. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 2-4
seeds from 6 cardamom pods
teaspoon black peppercorns
teaspoons sea salt
teaspoon ground coriander
teaspoon ground cumin
garlic cloves
tablespoon olive oil
cup whole milk yogurt
tablespoon grated fresh ginger
tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3-4 pound chicken, butterflied
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Grind cardamom seeds and peppercorns in a mortar with pestle to a fine powder. Add salt, coriander, cumin and garlic. and smash the garlic. Add the olive oil to form a paste. Stir in yogurt, ginger and lemon juice.
- Place chicken in a large bowl or pan. Rub yogurt between skin and breasts and thighs. Then smear remaining yogurt over the outside of the chicken, front and back. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours. Remove chicken from refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting.
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Place chicken breast-side up in a baking pan or cast iron pan. Bake in oven until thoroughly cooked, 45 minutes - 1 hour. Remove and let rest 15 minutes before carving. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.

Over 15 years ago, my cousin Bruce introduced me to the world of board games with an unforgettable evening of Empire Builder. Yes... the game lasted over 4 hours -- but I loved it so much, I could have played for days.
Catan soon followed, with memorable games of Medici, Can't Stop, The Princes of Florence, and countless others I won't bore you with.
My love for gaming was born, and I had no idea where the tabletop journey would lead me...
Suddenly I'm the proud owner of a "little" site called BoardGamePrices.com.
The site soon became an obsession to me -- I couldn't stop thinking of new ideas and ways to grow it. Before I knew it, over half a million people were browsing games on BoardGamePrices.com each year.
I continue to be humbled and blown away by the support of the board game community.
We're excited to announce the upcoming launch of BoardsandBits.com, an online marketplace for new and used board games.
We invite you to sell your old games and add new ones to your collection with our innovative new marketplace.
Our goal is to take the pain away from selling your unused games.
Our marketplace is designed so that you can spend less time buying & selling games, and more time at the gaming table.
BoardsandBits.com was a successful board game store for many years, and we're excited to be working with its previous owner, Tom Powers, to bring our new venture to life!
Building this exciting new marketplace is a challenging task, and we want to make sure everything is working properly before we open it to the public.
Our anticipated launch is Winter 2017/2018.
Join our waiting list today to be the first to hear when we go live.
I can't wait to start buying & selling games with you!

AG Jack Conway not representing people
In 2004 Kentucky voters voted overwhelmingly to amend the Kentucky constitution to protect the historic definition of marriage. The amendment reads:
"Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall now be valid or recognized."

C'burg's decision
Before I moved to Campbellsburg 11 years ago, I researched the town online and found the community I wanted to locate to. Democratic voting, liberal thinking small town with a sprinkling of diversified ethnic mix, I found my home online and moved my family in.
As a Democrat, I was proud to endorse Obama for president and proudly had an election sign put up in my front yard.
Foundation Fundraiser
I am pleased to announce that The Eminence Education Foundation, Inc. will hold their 22nd Annual Dinner and Silent Auction at 6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014. This annual event will be in the Eminence Independent Schools Gymnasium. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and a buffet dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. The Silent Auction will occur throughout the evening followed by a live auction at the end of the program. Childcare will be provided (for free) with prior notice.
The five board members of the Eminence Independent Schools and the five board members of the Henry County Board of Education oversee budgets, make tough decisions, maintain the upkeep of our schools, and ensure academic excellence for all students. They also make it a priority that each individual child, in the Henry County and Eminence Independent district, gets what he or she needs to successfully learn in school and beyond. All that is done in the face of shrinking state and federal dollars for education.
Hello, my name is Shanda Scriber Archer, and I am writing to inform you that I have filed as a Democratic candidate for the office of Henry County Clerk. The date of the primary election will be Tuesday, May 20, 2014.
Although I know many of you, at this time I would like to briefly introduce myself and explain what brought me to this decision.
Standing out against fairness ordinance
I want to thank Shawn Golden for vocally opposing the Fairness Ordinance as well as taking a stand for Christianity. I want to encourage all Christians to do what is right and fight for our families. Research for yourself the Fairness Ordinance of Kentucky and take a look at what it has done to other Christian businesses in our state.

Our greatest generation
Four weeks ago today I attended the memorial service for my uncle, Kenneth Bratton, a member of the greatest generation.
Sixty nine years ago today he was fighting in the deadliest battle our nation had ever seen, the Battle of the Bulge. This battle resulted in over 85,000 US casualties, with over 19,000 dead.
A moral responsibility
The historic wrought iron fence, surrounding the Point Pleasant Cemetery that is located in a curve on KY 573, was silently removed last week. Its purpose had been to prevent speeding cars and weather related accidents from demolishing the tombstones. There seems to be no one in the community who witnessed it being taken down.

With the timing of trial matches undetermined, anyone want to make some predictions for CWPL 2?
Leading run-scorer: Kumar Sangakkara
Dominated CWPL 1 and despite recent poor form should dominate again.
Leading wicket-taker: Vernon Philander
Statistically unmatched. One of the best in CWPL 1, and that was without a Test record to support him.
Winner: Funky Town Monkey Pimps
Kallis, Philander, Hasan and Harris are A grade. The support squad is full of class too.
Wooden spoon: Pouncing Kittens
I love this team, filled with some of my favourites. However I cannot find 20 wickets out of Johnson, Magoffin, Maxwell, O'Keefe, Pathan, Starc, Coulter-Nile and Pushpakumara.

Making Men's Hobbies Affordable
Listen, it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from – as a man, you have interests and hobbies, and those are going to cost you money no matter which way you swing it. Men's lifestyle choices can be costly, even if you are on a budget. Still, let's have a look a some of these things that lots of guys love to do, and determine how you can ensure these hobbies don't impact your good financial standing.
Car and Motorcycle Collections
If you are a guy who likes fast cars and bikes, then it's a hobby that is naturally expensive. After all, you've got to purchase the vehicle, put fuel in it, put cash out for routine maintenance, and buy lots of fun things to keep it looking pretty. Not to mention the cost of insurance, and you're sure to go all out and not pinch pennies here when you're talking about a vehicle that is your baby.
Whether you're driving your car or motorcycle on the road, on the track, or working on it in your garage, ensure that you stick to a budget in all areas. Routine maintenance may be necessary, but if it pushes your budget, then you don't need to break the bank to put in a new sound system, or replace the tires when the ones you have on are doing just fine. And, for those things that you do need, you can shop around for better deals.
Sporting Activities
Who doesn't like to hit the gym, get on the football field for some good old-fashioned downtime, or even just make some informed brackets for March Madness? While these activities may keep you and your boys active and well-socialized (especially when there are drinks available to be had as part of the package), the costs of these activities add up. Take advantage of free activities! Click here for a free March Madness competition that could get you to the Final Four.
If golf is your activity of choice, then you've got to pay for your tee time, every single time you hit the course, or you've got to invest in a membership. If you're playing with an organized sports team, then you have a cost of registration.
Then, on top of the basic costs to play, you've got all the gear. While men might give women trouble for their love of shopping at the malls, we all know guys enjoy spending cash in other areas – getting the best equipment for hobbies and sports. Of course, the equipment falls in the "necessity" category, so don't worry, we have your backs there. But, you've still got to watch so you don't go overboard.
When it comes to golfing, look for special deals or offers at courses during the less busy season or less popular times. Or, look for course trying to recruit new members for special introductory prices to play.
Drinking Beer
Well, we aren't here to judge, and we know that some guys simply like to do just about anything that they can do with a beer in their hand. So go for it, as long as you're drinking responsibly, there's really no harm (except, maybe to your liver if you engage a little too often). If you want to drink on the cheap, have your beer at home, during happy hours, or even better, find a way to brew it yourself!

Ariel Winter's father has filed an objection after his teenage daughter was placed in the care of her elder sister amid allegations of parental abuse at home.
The Modern Family star has accused her mom Crystal Workman of physical and emotional abuse, and the 14 year old's sister Shanelle Workman was subsequently appointed her temporary guardian.
The siblings' dad Glenn Workman has submitted legal papers objecting to Shanelle's guardianship, ahead of a court hearing into the matter in Los Angeles on Tuesday (20Nov12).
In the filing, obtained by TMZ.com, he states, "I am physically, emotionally, and financially capable of caring for my daughter, without limitation. No evidence has been produced that suggests any detriment to Ariel associated with my father-daughter relationship with her...
"I am a frugal and modest person with a moderate income who doesn't need Ariel's income to survive."
Glenn does not comment on the abuse allegations, except to say Crystal's relationship with Ariel is strained, and adds, "I believe Ariel has demonstrated a lot of maturity and is at an age now that she should have more control over her finances."
Meanwhile, Ariel's brother, Jimmy Workman, has also penned a declaration asking the court system to help mend the family's problems.
He writes, "I have never seen any physical or emotional abuse in the home of my parents regarding Ariel. I have seen normal mother and daughter arguments and banter back and forth but nothing more... My position is not to take sides with anyone, but to get this family back where it belongs."

Online Retailers Triggers Technical Research as Momentum Builds for 2013
Jan 16, 2013, 08:00 EST
LONDON, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
StockCall research team has posted free technical analyses on companies mentioned in this release. These can be accessed at
The Catalog and Mail Order house industry, which features the world's top online retailers, has started the New Year off with a bang, as strong holiday sales figures in the U.S. and abroad have begun to be reported. eBay Inc.(1) (NASDAQ : EBAY ) is scheduled at release its earnings today after the market closes.
eBay has been a strong performer in the last 12 months backed by growing interest for online buying, especially as its mobile app continues to be popular reaching the 100th million download in September 2012. But what has also changed is consumers' faith in internet security as they start to use online payment methods which bode well for eBay on two fronts. Firstly, its PayPal service garnered a household status and eBay being an online retailer sees its primary business gaining success as a reason of PayPal's popularity.
The proliferation of smartphones and tablets, also bodes well for the industry, and with more people feeling secure about shopping online, companies could see record sales figures in 2013. According to the National Retail Federation, total holiday spending jumped by 3% in 2012, and non-store holiday sales increased by an impressive 11.1%. In an attempt to reach a greater number of potential customers, several companies, such as Amazon.com Inc.(2) (NASDAQ : AMZN), have come out with new apps for gaming consoles as well as smartphones and tablets. Amazon's Instant Video app which is available for Wii console owners provides the options to buy, rent and stream a large pool of movies and TV series from Amazon's Instant Vide Store.
A growing number of internet users in China augur well for companies with operations in the area, though competition there remains intense. It is easy to understand why, as last year alone the number of internet users in China increased by some 51 million to around 564 million users.

Verizon's latest minimum advertised pricing (MAP) list has added two devices that are no doubt on everyone's short list for the holidays. The fan favorite has to be the Galaxy Nexus (Prime), but the HTC Rezound (Vigor) is no slouch in the specs department and HTC certainly has a loyal following amongst the Android faithful.
Considering what these phones have to offer, it'll probably come as no surprise that they're grabbing Verizon's top pricing at $299 on a 2-year contract. We had a nice run there when $199 was the worst they would do to us, but clearly those days are gone for now.
The second piece of information comes as a bit of a disappointment. It pegs the launch for both devices as November 10. It's nice to have something on the calendar to stare at, but I had really hoped it would be a little closer than that. Until Verizon, Google, Samsung and/or HTC comes right out and tells us the launch date, we can't be certain. But the MAP launch date for the Bionic was dead on, and in most cases when the dates on these lists are wrong, it's because the device gets delayed.
Does $299 seem like a fair price for these devices? How does the November 10 release date sit with you? Should they have pushed to get it closer to the iPhone's release? Or is just making sure it's out in time for the holidays good enough?

June 22, 2009 16:05 ET
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 22, 2009) - Adaltis Inc. (TSX:ADS), an international in vitro diagnostic (IVD) company, today announced that it has secured an additional bridge loan of up to $2 million from Victoria Square Ventures Inc. and has issued this day a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 to Victoria Square Ventures Inc. in respect of the first tranche. Additional advances under the facility are at the sole option of the lender. The promissory note issued today is secured by certain assets of Adaltis, has a 60-day term and bears interest at an annual rate of 16%. The note is not convertible into securities of Adaltis.
As previously disclosed, Adaltis is still pursuing discussions with certain parties to provide additional longer term financing in order to ensure continuing operations beyond June 2009.

There can be no assurance that any transaction will be concluded or that Adaltis will be able to continue as a going concern without successfully raising additional financing through borrowings, share issuances, sale of assets or otherwise. The outcome of these matters is in large part beyond the Corporation's control and will likely be subject to a number of conditions, some of which may not be favourable to the Corporation.
The issuance of the promissory note to Victoria Square Ventures Inc. may be considered a related party transaction within applicable securities legislation. As such, this news release could not be issued more than 21 days before the issuance of the note as the Corporation had urgent liquidity needs.
